Why Moisturize
Why Moisturize The most effective moisturizers on the market today are water based. Moisturizers based in heavy oils just sit on top of the skin and don’t penetrate, while those based in water containing botanicals, essential oils, liposomes, vitamins, enzymes, hyaluronic and fruit acids are very effective. These are known as active ingredients that have a positive result on the skin and actually do what they are supposed to. Heavy oils and gels in products are called fillers and just dilute the product making it cheaper to sell, but don’t have near the result or none at all as the active ingredients are so diluted. All skin types should moisturize year round and especially during the winter months as this time of year is more drying to the skin. When choosing a moisturizer whether for face or body choose one with a uv protection or apply a sunscreen over top. Sun damage is done to the skin even through the window of your car, outdoor sports, or just taking a walk. Even when sitting in a shaded area you are still exposed to a percentage of harmful sun rays. This includes sun tanning machines. |
